The people at Oh-Barcelona.com (Barcelona apartment rentals) contacted me recently to let me know about a 3D Video they had made about Barcelona using Google Earth technology.

And while I don't usually promote such things unless I spontaneously find them on my own - and you all know that to be true, this video was really so impressive and innovative that I wanted to share it.

Below, you'll find a 10-minute "virtual tour of Barcelona" video about Barcelona, narrated in English, using Google Earth. The male and female narrators discuss what's being seen in the 3D Video as they zoom around Barcelona, giving you a very good feel of the layout of the city. Enjoy!



If you're in a hurry, see below the 1.5 minute "teaser" of the same Barcelona 3D video.

Great intro to Barca for first-timers and a wonderful trip back in memory for the rest of us. Thanks for posting!

Has anyone had experience working with Oh, Barcelona? Since there are 4 of us and the hotel rooms seem small (such as we can't all fit in the same room) we started thinking of an apartment rental for 3 nights.

It may be a consideration for Madrid also, if anyone knows about vacation apartments there.

Thanks as always

Friends used Barcelona Home not to long ago and seemed quite pleased. Barcelona Home does both short & long term rentals and the owner of the flat (or whatever) absorbs the fee.
